Retail Roundup: October 15, 2008

The grandfather of online console shooters returns...

W

hile some may be quick to dub it "Resident Evil in space," EA has obviously put in the time to make Dead Space something special. Provided that the action and the suspense are well balanced, we may have this year's frightener on our hands.

The rims are a spinnin', and they're churning out predictable sequels. Everyone's "favorite" GTA clone returns in Saints Row 2. Put on your skuzziest clothes and listen carefully for the sound of your mother crying.

Now here's something I can get excited about. SOCOM was the first online title I ever played on a console, and SOCOM: Confrontation seeks to reignite the original's dedicated fanbase. Vehicles have been omitted in exchange for some of the most polished tactical skirmishes you'll find anywhere. Throw in a great Bluetooth headset for the PS3, and we've got the makings of a Platinum Hit.
